Active, Fun Family Time

Dr. Lombardi is married and lives in the Issaquah area with her husband and two teen boys. Hoping to raise well-rounded children, her sons’ activities have ranged broadly. For years, she drove the chauffer/carpool circuit to school, sports, and other various activities, often praying that they would be on time, as well as having the necessary armamentarium for the activity in their possession. She has thoroughly enjoyed the relationships that develop from being involved in her kids' endeavors, and has taken on various roles of room mom, team mom, and troop mom over the years. She certainly understands the challenges of managing a busy family, and uses that life experience when working with her patients and their parents. When her family slows down enough to spend an evening at home, they love eating dinner on the patio, playing Hearts, and over-loving their labradoodle, the only other girl in the house.
